Demonic Angel (Mina Ashido x FEM! reader)

Smile For Me?

(Y/N) POV

"They think I'm a nomu."

You looked into Mina's eyes trying to read her reaction. Her eyes were wide and her mouth hung slightly open in shock. She slowly looked away from you, still processing what you said. You could feel yourself shaking as you barely kept yourself from breaking down. It was terrifying to tell her this, but you couldn't bring yourself to keep it from her after she had been nothing but kind to you.

"That can't be right," She said softly, as if to herself. She turned back to you, almost a pleading look in her eyes. "Sure the wings were added, but you only have the one quirk... right?"

You turned away and took a deep breath before you responded. "I still have the heat absorption quirk," you paused, "I-I also have a regeneration quirk."

You closed your eyes as they filled with tears. They told you not to tell anyone. You should have listened. Now she hated you. Why wouldn't she? Mr. Aizawa told you what the nomu were and all they did. You were one of them. You were a monster. You gritted your teeth in a final attempt to keep yourself from breaking down.

"I'm a monster," you said, putting your head in your hands as you let out a sob, "I'm so sorry."

You sobbed into your hands, your whole body shaking. All of your attempts to not break down had failed. The sound of your feathers shaking violently with your sobs seemed to fill the room. Why did you tell her? You had just met her. You had no reason to believe that she'd trust you or be kind to you after hearing this. The League of Villains had created you with the sole purpose to kill.

"No," Mina said softly.

"What?" you asked, now frozen in place. You had stopped crying in surprise.

"You're not a monster," she said more clearly.

You slowly sat up and turned to her. "But I'm-"

"That doesn't matter!" she cried, cutting you off, "You're still you!"

You looked into her eyes. There were tears running down her face as her black and yellow eyes looked at you with pure determination. She really believed that. After a few moments, she threw her arms around you in a tight hug. You stayed frozen for a bit before finally returning it. You hugged the pink girl tight as you buried your face in her hair as you began to cry again. Mina started rubbing circles in your back, and you felt your body relax in response. She had such a calming effect on you, but you had no idea why.

"They told me not to tell anyone," you said between sobs, your voice muffled by her hair, "But I couldn't bear to keep it from you after you were so nice to me."

She pulled back from you to look you in the eye, cupping your cheek in her hand. "I'm glad you trust me," she said with a small smile, "I promise that I won't tell anyone else unless you want me to."

You simply nodded in response and leaned into her hand. Relief flooded your body as you finally calmed down. You closed your eyes as the pink girl started to stroke your hair. You were so convinced that she would hate you, yet here she was making sure you were okay. After a couple of minutes, you finally stopped crying. Turning back to her, you looked into her black and yellow eyes.

"Thank you," you said with a smile.

Her smile widened. "Of course," she said, "Are you ready to go to bed?"

You slowly nodded, and she got up to say goodnight. You were saddened for her to leave, but you needed the sleep. When she got to the door, she turned and flashed you one last smile before closing it softly. A few moments after she left, you changed into a grey t-shirt and another pair of black shorts that Aizawa had gotten for you. You washed your face to get rid of the tears then flopped down on your bed, almost immediately passing out.
